When someone says "you need an engine tune-up," you may immediately think it's going to cost an arm and a leg at a shop. If your vehicle has major issues, it would be best to take it into a shop, but for regular maintenance, you can use these tips from Jason Aker of the Gas Monkey Garage to perform your own engine tune-up and save yourself some money.
Richard Rawlings is an automotive mechanic and star of the reality-TV show "Fast N' Loud." Owner of Gas Monkey Garage, Richard uses his skills and those of his crew, or "monkeys," to rebuild, modify, and maintain vehicles both new and old. The Gas Monkey Garage Crew consists of nine team members, including Aker, a mechanic and expert automotive restorer from Oklahoma City.
Rawlings and the Gas Monkey Garage crew rely on the parts and tools they need for their projects from Advance Auto Parts. Be sure to stay tuned for more videos from the Gas Monkey Garage, and stop by your local Advance for your car-maintenance and restoration needs.
